9 July, all day.
A friend asked me why I go to New York so often. Of course she should talk since she’s from Singapore, land of the most traveled of travelers. And she got to go to Scandinavia last summer!
Why do I go to New York? Because New York is so big, each time I go there solo, there’s always new places to visit. Today was food & booze day. I was taken to a store called Century 21. Thought it was a place for real estate (ha!) but it was a big crazy clothing shop housed in an old bank. My NY friend has pretty good taste in what works clothing wise. It’s the big deal over there.
Lunch was at Shanghai Joe’s in Chinatown (xiaolongbiao is great) with shopping afterwards. Kind of routine, eh? Wound up strolling up to SoHo to drink coffee while she shopped around. There was a fantastic Apple Store in the heart of SoHo. Free broadband to boot. Nice. I spent two hours in there.
When it’s really hot outside, it does goofy things to your appetite. So no dinner tonight; more like a bunch of snacks. Green Tea ice cream with mochi at dinnertime in a chi chi Japanese place and a Cookie Dough Surprise sandwich at a peanut butter restaurant in the Village behind NYU. nice. And that was dinner.
